My first step was to gather online inspiration for creating the brand—images, fonts, icons, and colors that are reminiscent of the sea. The look I decided upon was airy, inviting, and elegant, which aligns with Seapearl Properties’ listings and clientele.

ALOHA APP
The color scheme of this Hawaiian Language learning app is fun, vibrant, and colorful, representing the lush, diverse beauty of the Hawaiian Islands. These were my initial brand concepts.
UC AND WELLNESS
UC and Wellness is a platform focused on improving the wellbeing of those living with ulcerative colitis. To add a touch of warmth and humor to a serious subject, Coco the Colon Cat was introduced—an animated mascot created to connect with users in a compassionate and approachable way.

Organic Shapes
Rather than relying on photos, which can be challenging for depicting ulcerative colitis, the app uses organic forms symbolizing the colon’s structure—the tissue and tunneling of the colon.
Purple was selected as the primary color because it represents the disease of ulcerative colitis.
